    Being close by, thought yesterday would be an ideal opportunity for a few pics and see what the plans are next. Drove down to a deserted DLW, then realised that it was the 2nd week of the month, not the 1st or 3rd...... Try again next week.

    The amount of gear, ready for install, is quite large, from our last visit, interesting to know that the B17 crew, have new cannon box, maybe the extra that was being cast for the P2 is at hand. Once the front bogey is in, block valve gear...
